Burke, Lorenzo 'row on X Factor tour'

Alexandra Burke had to be separated from Ruth Lorenzo after a row on the Sheffield leg of the X Factor live tour, it has been claimed.

The X Factor winner had a "spectacular" fight with former co-star Lorenzo when the pair argued over the affections of a male dancer, The Sun reports.

A source said: "Ruth claims they fell out because she pulled a dancer Alex had her eye on. She reckons Alex bullied her but the old green-eyed monster has been creeping in.

"Meanwhile Alex feels she is being singled out by Ruth and the others on tour because of her success.

"She insists she was never after any dancer - she doesn’t think that would be very cool. She thinks Ruth is just using it as a excuse to pick on her.

"But either way their friendship is well and truly over. They can barely look at each other. Both have threatened to leave unless the other is booted off the tour."

Earlier this month, Lorenzo said that she had no plans to flat-share with Burke.
